CFP - Myth and Fairy Tales

All scholars working in the areas of myth and/or fairy tales are invited to submit paper or panel proposals for the upcoming SWPACA Conference. Panels are now forming on topics related to all aspects of myths and fairy tales and their connections to popular culture. To participate in this area, you do not need to present on both myths and fairy tales; one or the other is perfectly fine. Presentations considering both genres are of course welcome and can stimulate interesting discussions. Proposals for forming your own Myth or Fairy Tale-focused panel – especially panels focused on one particular myth/tale – are encouraged.

Paper topics might include (but are certainly not limited to):

Where Fairy Tales and Myth Overlap

Non-Western Myths and Fairy Tales

Revised Fairy Tales

Fairy Tales in/as “Children’s Literature”

Disney

Urban Fairy Tales

Ethnic Myths and Fairy Tales

Gendered Readings of Myths and Fairy Tales

Postcolonial Myths and Fairy Tales

Myths and Fairy Tales in Advertising Culture

Reading Myths and Fairy Tales in the Popular Culture of Past Centuries
